 ### Fixed
 
+- A template match pattern written with an explicit `child::` or `attribute::` axis now gets the default priority of its node test (XSLT 1.0 5.5), not 0. `attribute::node()` is a `node()` node test, so its default priority is -0.5 (the same as `@*`), but it was treated as a name test and given priority 0, which made it wrongly outrank `@*`. The axis is now stripped before the node test is classified. Closes Apache Xalan conformance cases `conflictres29` and `conflictres30`.
+
 - `xsl:strip-space` and `xsl:preserve-space` now match their `elements` name tests by namespace rather than by prefix (XSLT 1.0 3.4). A specifier `prefix:*` or `prefix:local` resolves the prefix to its namespace URI at parse time, and a source element is matched on its expanded name in order of specificity (an exact `{uri}local` over a namespace wildcard `{uri}*` over `*`), so a stylesheet that strips `ns1:*` strips a source element in that namespace whatever prefix the source bound it to, while leaving another namespace untouched. The tests previously compared the raw prefixed name strings, so a differing prefix did not match. Closes Apache Xalan conformance cases `whitespace06` and `whitespace07`.
 
 - `disable-output-escaping` is now ignored when an `xsl:text` or `xsl:value-of` produces the string value of an attribute, comment, or processing-instruction node (XSLT 1.0 16.4: disabling escaping for a value used as something other than a text node is an error, with the recovery being to ignore it). The attribute value built from such content kept its raw-output markers, so the serializer left `<` and `>` unescaped in the attribute; the markers are now stripped for these three node kinds (only when the stylesheet uses the feature, so a private-use character in ordinary data is untouched). Closes Apache Xalan conformance case `output75`.
